Recreate the famous herb and oil dipping sauce served at Carrabba’s Italian Grill. This simple, flavorful blend of olive oil, herbs, and spices perfectly complements your crusty bread for a taste of Italian dining at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for depth)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Pour the olive oil into a shallow dipping dish or small bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture evenly over the surface of the olive oil. Do not stir immediately.
  5. If using, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the top.
  6. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld with the oil.
  7. Serve with warm, crusty Italian bread for dipping, just like at Carrabba’s.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • You can adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
  • Stir gently right before serving if you prefer the herbs mixed throughout.
  • This sauce tastes even better if you prepare it a few hours ahead of time.
